Indoor Plants: Your Home’s Natural Air Filters

Wednesday, April 25th, 2018

Houseplant decorating does not require a green thumb. This is great news since every home requires a touch of greenery. These potted beauties have a way of livening and brightening up any room but more than these reasons, they also can filter the very air that you breathe.

Unfortunately, not a lot of people realize the importance of breathing in fresh air. Air purifiers might be easy to install and all but nothing beats the inexpensive and natural look that potted plants can offer.

There are many types of plants that are known for their air purifying capacity. These include the English Ivy (this tops the list because of its air-purifying properties as well as its elegant beauty), the rubber plant (yup, this is no joke as they emit a high oxygen level), Lady Palm (this is as tropical as tropical could Spider Plant (it may not sound too plant-y but it helps in improving the air you breathe), the Barberton Daisy (which even combats xylene, formaldehyde, benzene, and toluene), Moth Orchid, and the Dwarf Date Palm.

There are many ways to display these natural air filters.

Bench, Credenza or Cart Display

The bench or cart is the simplest way that you can display your potted beauties. These come in handy when you don’t have a lot of space to work on.

Create a lively plant shrine by adding pots of greens onto a narrow credenza or a low bench. Just imagine this Hooker Furniture Bedroom Ozark bed bench filled with lovely greens.

White Pot ‘Em

Instead of the usual clay or ceramic pots, try a different look by planting your greens in white pots. Your evergreen foliage would even look and feel more elegant as you add these small 10”x8”x6” Uttermost Accessories Oval Domes Preserved Boxwood. Uttermost’s greens fuse quality with style. It also comes with advanced product engineering which promises the lowest damage rate. Every product is shipped out to you with quality in mind.

If the white pots don’t tickle your fancy, then you can always go for geometric pots or geometric greeneries. Here’s where the Uttermost Accessories Two Sphere Topiary Preserved Boxwood comes in. it is a plant arranged with two spheres and a mossy stone finish.

It is perfect for the living areas.

Plant Hangers

Another way that you can decorate with potted greens is to hang them. You can either suction them to the walls or build a special indoor trellis for them. These can then be classified as wall art and easily become the piece de resistance in a living room.

They can also be hung from the ceiling and you would need plant hangers for this. Make sure that the potted plant will be able to fit into the hangers. A macramé plant hanger can be made with some cotton cords. Learn the technique here.

You can also place long, hanging plants on wall shelving. Add some of your bottle or ceramic collections to complete the look.

Vase the Branches

Sometimes, all that you need is a part of the plant. You can get a lovely vase (it’s up to you whether you’d want glass, ceramic or any other material) and place the branch of a green plant there. This should last a few days up to a week. This kind of design is perfect for the Bohemian-inspired home.

 Gotta Love Those Succulents

Creating your plant corner means you have to learn about layering. Your plant sanctuary does not have to be filled with leafy plants all the time. For added texture, you can use succulents. These tiny pots can be arranged right on the floor or you can have them grouped on an open shelf.
